Chapter 423 Tipping culture, special group
Chen Xuan looked at his "masterpiece" expressionlessly.
It's not a bad feeling to be reckless.
But he doesn't really want to destroy the world.
Blue Star is his home base.
It can be regarded as his natal family in another world.
Because of this, Chen Xuan cannot vent violence as much as he wants.
What's more, violence itself is not his ultimate goal.
Many people admire the people of the motherland and believe that they are the ultimate reflection of human nature.
But the truth is exactly the opposite.
What you will get after being reckless is emptiness.
What's more, a fellow from the motherland, aside from his superpowers, has a different temperament from ordinary people.
How many ordinary people are from Lham?
I can’t say there are none, I can only say there are only a handful.
Use abnormality to measure abnormality, that is abnormality.
Even if most people get superpowers, they don't want to destroy the world.
After the world is destroyed, he will be alone.
Even the destruction itself.
Wantonness is short-lived, but loneliness is eternal.
Just when Chen Xuan was watching the news and thinking about the situation.
The special cocktail he ordered was finished.
This is his fifth drink today.
Even the extra virginity wine he drank couldn't make him drunk.
He picked up the wine glass with a natural expression and drank most of it in one breath.
Such a large amount is even more eye-catching.
Even the bartender at Big Wave couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Those who can spend money on the third level basically have upper-level wealth.
This level is already very good in America.
Six years ago, the Pew Research Center in America showed.
52% of American adults can be classified as middle-class families, with an annual income of $78,442.
19% of American households are defined as upper class.
And 29% of families are lower class.
The average income for upper-class households is $187,872.
The average income of the lower class is $25,624.
Of course, there is also a range for the upper class, with annual income ranging from $200,000 to over a million dollars.
Dadaole's purchasing power has always been strong.
With an annual income of hundreds of thousands, Da Dao Le is considered a real master in America.
It's just that they can't compare with those elites.
The usual problem in capital society is that classes are divided by assets.
This is particularly evident in America, which is the capital base of the world.
Chen Xuan's dress, temperament, and even the way he drank made him the most handsome guy in the room.
In many corners where the light did not reach the forehead, intermittent gasping sounds could be heard.
Even the melodious music cannot cover up these movements.
But most people take it for granted.
Who would come to a gentlemen's club if not to have fun?
Strictly speaking, there is no essential difference between the lower three levels.
There are only slight differences in amount and quality.
And the music on each floor is different.
The first level is the most affordable, so the music is loud and the drinks are spicy.
The girl who lingered there was straight-forward, never coy, but straight to the point.
It's a place that doesn't have much to offer, but it's a good place to have fun.
The level of the second floor has been slightly improved. The music is still exciting, but it is no longer harsh and has become more sophisticated. There is a dedicated resident DJ who is responsible for adjusting the music according to the atmosphere of the venue.
Even the lighting is no exception.
The third floor needs soothing music, just like a music restaurant.
Although a pole stage is also set up, it is not open during the day.
Of course, the club itself is open 24 hours a day.
Most customers don't stay that long.
Basically, after a few drinks, you choose the right girl and leave.
Actual content performed within a gentlemen's club may vary based on state laws, local laws, club rules and individual dancer performance.
The only thing they have in common is that there will be no inappropriate behavior on the field.
Virginia doesn't have many gentlemen's clubs.
The Peanutton District allows the audience to watch the drag dancers on stage, but they are not allowed to use them.
Baltimore, Maryland, on the other hand, allows for more exciting lap dancing.
But the standard starting charge for lap dancing is $20.
The girl will drag her on her lap.
The exact amount to be hauled off varies depending on the club's regulations.
Guests must be fully clothed during performances.
And limited access is allowed in some places.
The clubs in Las Vegas, for example, are bigger and more luxurious, but also more crowded.
Of course, the quality of the dancers is also higher.
Clubs make more than just admission, and the drinks inside are more expensive.
In addition, there is an on-site commission for the dancers.
In order to perform there, dancers need to pay the club owner.
Therefore it is very important to tip the dancers.
In addition, the personal extra money brought out is also the reason why those dancers are willing to find targets and leave their contact information.
If dancers sit next to them, they expect customers to buy them drinks.
Drinks will probably be expensive, and chatting will also have to be paid for.
Always tip generously after a private dance, especially if you thought the experience was good.
However, some dancers may provide poor service, so tipping is not necessary.
In addition, the waiter responsible for delivering wine also needs tips.
If you sit next to the stage, you have to tip every dancer who comes out.
If you sit at the bar, you have to tip the bartender.
This is the tipping culture in America. In most service places, not tipping is considered a shame. Although it is not explicitly required, it is still a common rule.
In addition, in some places, the dancers will walk up to each person after each song to ask for a tip.
It all boils down to tips, tips, tips.
Even if it is the most ordinary level in the club, a visit will cost hundreds of dollars.
After talking about gentlemen’s clubs, of course there are also ladies’ clubs.
There the men perform clinging performances for the ladies to watch.
It’s just that there are far fewer such clubs than gentlemen’s clubs.
Perhaps due to the language plug-in, he can now easily adapt to and understand various local cultures.
"Hey, brother."
"Why do you drink alone?"
At this time, a guy wearing gold-rimmed glasses and with the words "gentle scum" all over his body took the initiative to come to Chen Xuan's side.
He is also a customer.
Many people pay a relatively high admission fee to come to the third floor not to have fun, but to broaden their connections.
Xia State has a wine table culture.
Many people see it as dross.
In fact, America and its European relatives also have corresponding club cultures.
Basically, the soup is changed without changing the medicine, and it becomes just a form and a statement.
Chen Xuan glanced lazily, then took the straw in his hand and stirred the ice cubes at the bottom.
He first drank half of the colorful special cocktail in one gulp, and then stirred it up randomly, so that all the colors were mixed together.
"Sir, has no one ever told you that it is rude to disturb a lonely drinker?"
He said in a nonchalant tone.
This made the man with gold-rimmed glasses startled, but he soon put on a warmer smile.
"I apologize in advance for my rudeness."
After saying that, he raised his glass and drank half of the brown wine in his hand.
Chen Xuan smiled noncommittally.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"I'm not a hot girl. I can't attract men for no reason."
Hearing his words, the man with gold-rimmed glasses turned his head slightly.
"Of course it's a good thing."
"Would you mind sitting over there for a while?"
He pointed to a seat in the corner.
Chen Xuan shrugged at this, saying that he was just idle anyway.
Chen Xuan wanted to see what medicine this guy was selling in his gourd.
When he stood up, he waved to the plump bartender.
The female bartender immediately walked over with graceful steps.
"Snapped!"
The next moment, the buttons of the tight uniform fell off.
She was about to have a fit because this was offensive behavior.
Chen Xuan took out a stack of Da Dao Le with his backhand and stuffed it directly into Shanfeng's wallet.
That pile contains at least five thousand knives.
This is a pretty hefty tip.
The female bartender looked excited and quickly took out a business card from the pocket behind her.
Of course she also has extra time, but she won't be too proactive and only devotes herself to those luxurious guests.
Today's Chen Xuan perfectly meets her requirements.
I accepted the thin and simple business card with only a phone number and a pseudonym on it.
Chen Xuan picked it up and stuffed the business card into his pocket under the bartender's charming gaze.
Saw him tipping.
The eyes of the young man with gold-rimmed glasses became more intense.
This kind of person is either a broker or a "financial expert" who engages in a Ponzi scheme.
In big cities, this kind of people are very common.
The mood is basically the same as that of fried chips.
Chen Xuan still had an indifferent attitude.
You can be fooled by you, but he remains unchanged in response to all changes!
So he followed the young man's steps to the corner seat with his hands in his pockets.
…
At the same time, Bai worked in the office of the "Blue Star Mysterious Special Response Team".
The investigation report and summary information on the suspected paranormal attack in the suburbs of Peanutton were placed in front of the team's desk.
Including the driver's flaming self-destruction and the Russian words shouted.
All have become important evidence.
Michael Brent was a former FIB ace agent.
Specializing in serious crime investigation in America.
He also served in the International Criminal Organization.
He has solved many internationally renowned cases.
He has received more than 300 serious criminal cases.
You must know that there are only a few cases that can be included in serious criminal cases in America every year.
He has a very keen sense of criminal investigation.
In addition, the team also has experts in multiple fields.
Including criminal psychologists, behavioral psychology experts, and information experts with the most powerful brains, they are responsible for summarizing all information and finding suspicious places.
After about half an hour of reviewing the information, I compared the reports on hand.
They all came to their own conclusions.
Urgent discussions will follow.
Finally, the office team writes a report and submits it directly to the general manager.
This report will serve as an important reference for the company’s subsequent decisions.
So we must be cautious and more cautious.
After a few minutes of silence, Michael Brent spoke first.
"Everyone, this is based on my experience."
"This is definitely not something a furry bear would do."
"More like a fool's errand."
"The last sentence shouted in Russian was purely to mislead."
"I have to say, this is a very poor frame-up performance."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old doctor sitting on the other side, wearing a blue plaid shirt and a newsboy cap, with gray hair on his temples, raised his hand.
This guy is Habiborach Janssen, coming to Stanford.
Holds the position of tenured professor.
The main research direction is behavioral psychology.
"I agree with Mike."
"Just now I reviewed all relevant surveillance and filming footage from the time of the incident."
"The other party doesn't have a clear motive, it's more like..."
At this point, he paused, seeming to be thinking of suitable words to describe it.
"More like play?"
At this time, a middle-aged woman wearing a turtleneck sweater sitting on the other side added.
"Yes, yes, it's just play!"
Habiborach Jansen gave her an approving look.
Then he continued to say enthusiastically.
"So it's definitely not a furry bear."
"Although Mao Xiong has obtained the extraordinary method, the extraordinary individuals he has cultivated are very limited."
"Would never waste it on such boring things."
“The point of doing this is not as good as putting all the chips on the diplomatic negotiation table.”
"At least we can gain substantial benefits."
"And senseless attacks do nothing but anger us."
Michael Brent narrowed his eyes slightly and patiently listened to the old professor's views.
Everyone present is smart and can basically analyze a lot from the clues.
Michael Brent thought for a moment before concluding.
"The furry bear can be ruled out."
"Then the only one left who is most likely to do this is Blue Star Mysterio."
Everyone was speechless.
They either lowered their heads or frowned, each thinking.
…
More than an hour later.
This report, which was jointly analyzed and drafted by the office, was sent to the desk of the general manager.
The report is not thick, but its content is not optimistic.
Blue Star Mysterio is suspected of showing hostility and intending to start a fight.
This conclusion makes people unable to stop thinking about it.
Since some time ago, the president's physical condition has deteriorated and he has long been unable to perform his duties.
Nowadays, there are deputy barrels working on behalf of the regular barrels.
Kalama Harris is under a lot of pressure every day.
Especially coming in, a new election period has arrived.
There are undercurrents surging among major financial groups.
Texas started jumping around again.
The situation overseas is not good either.
Coupled with the Blue Star Mysterious Visitor, Karama is in deep anxiety every day.
It took more than ten minutes to read through the report.
She already frowned.
Blue Star Mysterio’s identity is sensitive.
So what? So what if it’s not?
There is no way they can deal with him!
Recently, some bold radical organizations have provided various plans to deal with the Blue Star Mysterio.
But the feasibility is not high.
The risk is too great.
No one dares to make a decision.
On the other hand, those consortium bosses also covet extraordinary power.
This is something that wealth cannot buy.
Extraordinary physique, coupled with boundless wealth and power.
This is the real pursuit of those big guys.
In comparison, everything else can be considered make do. (End of chapter)
